Cholestatic jaundice due to toxoplasma hepatitis.

چکیده
Introduction Acquired toxoplasmosis may present as acute hepatitis (Vischer, Bernheim and Engelbrecht, 1967; Weitberg et al., 1979; Bars et al., 1978; Kouba, Jira and Zitova, 1971). Bars et al. (1978) in a survey of the literature reported 11 such cases. Weitberg et al. (1979) reported a case of granulomatous hepatitis due to Toxoplasma gondii and suggested that the severity of hepatitis may be greater than previously described. In most patients the outcome is favourable without specific treatment (Weitberg et al., 1979).
